This is really unique and interesting. I didn't expect to get into this, but you did a great job with this. Great sound design and music, a really solid puzzle game!

Great job on this game! The sound design is fantastic and exactly what I would expect in a game like this. It really set the mood. I'm glad that when I added a letter it automatically typed in all of the same letter. It would be great to be able to use the keyboard to enter a letter instead of only the letters at the top. I'm not sure if the cipher is the same between levels - if so I think it could be good to let the player go back to the page showing the entire message so they can reference it going forward. That will let them build progress on what they already decrypted.

Again, fantastic game! I'm excited to see where you go with it.

I like the sound design and it had some good puzzles.  Still confused with the cipher a little as majority of letters except a few seemed to follow the same rule? unless im being dumb lol. But good job!

The concept is definitely interesting from a story perspective, a typewriter that writes back to you. Some qualms I have are that you aren't able to type using your keyboard (even though it was shown to be possible at the start of the game) and that I can't lower or see through the current puzzle to try and remember what the letters are that I could remember. The first puzzle I managed to get going because "It's" was the 1st word I could think of that has an apostrophe after 2 letters and ending with one.  After that I got into puzzle #2 and forgot what letters corresponded to anything, and I had to scroll down to the comments/video just to remember. Audio is good, and you chose the best font for this kind of thing.  Good work!

I was this close to solving it, but accidently refreshed, and nothing saved :(

the game suffers a bit from qol things, like no backspace or inconsistent typing toggle between mouse and keyboard.

but the idea is solid and executed with great delivery on feel(music and looks of type writer) i liked the eerie/mysterious feel, i wonder how this can be expanded upon if at all?

great effort

It's very difficult! But all word games are for me, and I still enjoy them
